I built a full backend-as-a-service platform — solo, in TypeScript — to fix what I hated about Supabase and Appwrite.The Problem - Supabase: Too rigid. One schema model. No flexibility. - Appwrite: Too loose. No RLS. Security is manual.The Solution: 3 Schema Types | Type | Use Case | Security | |------------|-----------------------------------|----------| | `Document` | Rapid prototyping (Appwrite-style) | Manual | | `Managed` | Secure apps (auto RLS + permissions) | *Secure by default* | | `Unmanaged`| Full SQL power (raw Postgres) | None |### Killer Features - *APIs better than PostgREST*: Join tables *without FKs*, filter by nested columns - *Dashboard* (like Supabase Studio) – full CRUD, RLS editor, file browser - *Type-safe SDK* – zero config, full autocomplete - *Bun runtime* – faster than Node.js - *Self-host in 2 minutes* with Docker```bash git clone https://github.com/Nuvix-Tech/nuvix cd nuvix && docker compose up -d ```

Could you build this?

No Building a production-ready Backend-as-a-Service competing with Supabase/Appwrite requires deep systems engineering, distributed database internals, and automatic multi-tenant row-level security parsing.

What it would actually take: A real BaaS engine demands building custom AST parsers/SQL rewriters to enforce multi-model schemas (relational, document, key-value) alongside automated Row-Level Security rules. The architecture requires high-throughput connection pooling, real-time change data capture (CDC via Postgres replication streams or custom WAL listeners), and robust auth/token management. This requires deep systems programming, database query planner internals, and multi-tenant security architecture expertise.
